California’s recall election on September 14th is a Very Big Deal

There is an election to recall Governor Newsom on September 14th and it’s a VERY big deal.

The election could have major implications for LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare, California’s efforts to stop the COVID-19 pandemic, and so much more.

So please… VOTE!!!

If you are a registered voter, you should have already received your ballot in the mail. The easiest and safest way to return your ballot is by mail (no postage required), or at any secure Ballot Drop Box in your community.
